The Good Son: The Life of Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini
Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini was once the most famous sports figure in America, a boxer who electrified anyone who saw him in the ring. But everything changed on November 13, 1982. Mancini punched his South Korean challenger Duk Koo Kim, who quickly lapsed into a coma and never woke up. Months later, Kim's mother killed herself out of grief and soon after, the referee also committed suicide. Mancini was never the same fighter. Kim's fiancé was pregnant when he was killed, so their son never knew his father. Now, thirty years later, Mancini meets the son in a riveting encounter.
